Of course not...right?
Today I received a very interesting call from a marketing research firm -- specifically calling about the BMW M3. Normally I would hang up on these folks, but this one seemed a little too coincidental with the introduction of the M3 GTS, so I decided to participate in the 45 minute survey!
I'd say at least 20-30% of all the questions could be construed as guaging public interest in bringing the M3 GTS to the US (even though it was never mentioned by name).
- Do you track your car?
- How important is it to track your car?
- Would you like better brakes?
- Is a luxurious interior important to you?
- How important is a luxurious interior to you?
- How important is it remove VMax?
- Would you like adjustable aerodynamics in an M3?
Granted, these are only a small sampling of the questions. But just look at that list above. Do you want adjustable aerodymics in an M3? Do you want better brakes? Is important to you to be able to track your car? Do you want VMax removed?... |
At a complete guess, these questions could equally apply to the oft-rumored "competition" model or package for the current car. I personally believe that scenario has a better chance of coming to fruition for the U.S. than the race car.
